Whelen,
I pretty much agree with everything, however at the range I like to shoot 2 to 3 times between running a cleaning patch down the barrel. My reason of this is some guns will shoot a bit differenlty with a clean vs. fouled barrel. So I normally shoot 3 shots so I know what my gun will do, in case I need a follow up shot, and don' t have time for the cleaning patch.

When hunting, if I don' t fire my gun, and the weather is dry I leave my load in the gun (NO caps or primers). If I fire my gun I will throughly clean it that night.

Best of luck,
